"Simple colorwork inspired by a Norwegian snowflake motif rings the cuff of this classic holiday stocking," says Arney. And it's a great exercise in making socks, since it's bigger (in all ways, including gauge!) than usual; and as a holiday piece, you only have to make one, dispensing with the dreaded Second Sock Syndrome (SSS). Designed to be sturdy, with a worsted-weight yarn knitted to a tighter-than-average tension, it's a holiday mainstay in the making.
